How does a maths lecture work? Perhaps the most common application of mathematical methods in the real world is the solution of minimisation problems. From school, we are familiar with the search for zeros for the derivative as a criterion for extreme points of functions, but in many realistic models from Physics, engineering or economics, non-differentiable functions occur. The lecture shows how the concept of differentiability can be suitably generalised.

To start a degree programme, you must fulfil certain requirements, apply and enrol|to matriculate.

Knowledge graphs are currently a widely used method of integrating information from distributed sources and structuring it in such a way that it is understandable for computers. They enable search engines, for example, to answer questions directly. They are used in companies to formalise knowledge, make it widely available and maintain it, and are used in a wide range of applications from robot control to call centres. In this course, we will first give a general introduction to knowledge graphs and then take a look at the example of the largest freely available knowledge graph (Wikidata) to see how the information it contains can be queried and utilised.
